Compassion Child Sponsorship. It Works.

Christ

“But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere.”

- 2 Corinthians 2:14

Compassion child sponsorship works because of CHRIST. He is the reason Compassion exists, and the reason Australians give generously and faithfully so children can be released from poverty.

Through Christ, lives are transformed.

The Church

Compassion works through local churches who identify and meet each child’s needs.
Through the church, children have the chance to hear about God’s amazing love.

“Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble."

- 1 Peter 3:8

Compassion child sponsorship works because of the CHURCH. In countries where Compassion exists, it’s the local church who work to identify and meet the individual needs of children living in poverty.

Through the local church, children are shown and given the chance to respond to the love of Christ.

You

Compassion child sponsorship works because of you. Yes, you!
Sponsors who believe children should eat nourishing food, drink clean water, go to school, and have hope.

"Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms."

- 1 Peter 4:10

Compassion child sponsorship works because of YOU.
Sponsors who believe every child deserves to eat nourishing food, drink clean water, go to school, and have hope for the future.

You have the chance to show a child living in poverty they are loved and cherished.

WHAT WE DO

Compassion believes in long-term development.
We work with kids from the womb to the workforce.

Child Sponsorship Program

Compassion child sponsorship works by giving children emotional support, health care, education, and the opportunity to discover Jesus’ love. Sponsorship gives children a brighter future so they, and their future children, can live free from poverty.

Include a gift in your Will

Many supporters want to continue to release children from poverty and transform families and communities for generations to come. Giving a gift to Compassion in your Will (also known as a bequest) is a meaningful way to do this.

Advocacy

Join a community of like-minded individuals raising awareness and support for children living in poverty.

Advocacy can look like chatting to your friends, family and church about Compassion. Making music or art that raises awareness of children living in poverty. Volunteering at an event to promote Compassion’s child sponsorship.

Simply choose a way of advocating that suits
your passion and talents!
